Abstract

This chapter revolves around the impact of socio-political diaspora to the concept of tribal-ancestral land, which is sacred to the community and the cultural identity of the T'boli, an ethno-linguistic group. A narrative discourse approach is used to illustrate the tribe's struggles to the existing hegemony, particularly with the dynamics between the tribe and other inhabitants, the intrusions of other values and exploitations of their ancestral domains as explored across a changing sociocultural milieu. In an attempt to provide understanding of cultural identity amidst the changing social landscapes, the authors describe, identify, explore, and interpret the subject. Hence, the chapter provides the worldview of T'boli people and offers a narrative juxtaposition of the three opuses from three different fields. Further research is needed to ensure protection and preservation of the T'boli culture and its identity and indigenous significance within Southeast Asia and, specifically, the Philippines to better understand this land-based culture.
